My fingers
numb
as I write
these
words
vermillion
blood
pours onto
the page
I spill
it all
in hopes
you'll stay
drain me
clean
  lost my
sparkle
lost
my gleam

I inhale
his
serene
scent
I miss
the musk
of
you
you wreaked
of red wine
dimming
of my shine
& rough love
divine

His heart
beats null
mind is dull
he sings
me to lull
while planting
seeds
of poison
in my soul

His aura
was vermillion
electric
red
His hands crushed
a cigarette
stained with my
bright red
lips
I wore the color
in hopes
he would stay
amused
but deep down
I knew
I was serene
calm,
and
utterly blue

I lost myself
at the
emerald sea
currents pulled
me into the
depths
&
the chaos
set me free

If it comes
let it
if it goes
bid it goodbye
if it flows
follow the current
if it slows
be careful
not to drown
